What is the role of women in the Church?

[Yeshua1]

More precisely, your denomination the North American Baptist Conference has ruled that women may not be Senior Pastor or lead elder:

But they may be ministers the Gospel as:



For example, the President of the North American Baptist Conference Upper Mississippi Region Leadership Team is Jen Woyke

Anything but senior leadership in local church!

How many of those women are pastors?

Why is this even an issue at all!!!!

What does the Scriptures clearly state?

Women are to be SILENT in the church.

ANYTHING else is not according to the Scriptures.

Huh? Did you not read the posts:

Women are no tpermittedto be Elders/Pastors of a church, but everything else allowed!

women may not be Senior Pastor or lead elder...But they may be ministers the Gospel as...Associate Ministers, Vocational Directors of various ministries within the church, Chaplains, Counselors, Evangelists, Missionaries, Seminary Professors and Denominational Executives

Anything but senior leadership in local church!

Women are to be SILENT in the church.

Careful now, how would that work when a young woman leads worship in the church?

I knew G. Archer and his brother Arno Q. Wenigar in real life. In 1958, they would have been part of the Conservative Baptist Association. They were Historic Northern Baptists. So, in my opinion, Dr. Stockton was a speaker but she wasn't in a pastoral capacity.

So?

Did either of you read it at all?

He was a pastor, she was an evangelist:

Dr. G. Archer Weniger, pastor of the Foothill Blvd. Baptist Church of Oakland and Dr. Amy Lee Stockton, nationally known evangelist

Isn't that what I said? At one time, his brother's (Arno Q.) church had both a pulpit and a lectern on the platform. This so no woman spoke from the pulpit.
